Show HN: Dungeon Master in Your Console

A generative zork-like dungeon explorer that dynamically creates a world of mystery, peril, and unexpected discoveries. As you descend deeper into LLM generated labyrinths, your choices will shape the story, the dangers you face, and the secrets you uncover.

Uses a combination of LatitudeGames/Wayfarer-12B (Narrative) and OpenAI (Assistant).
